Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overt participant observation is when the participants being studied are aware of the researcher's presence and are informed of the aims of the study. This is in contrast to covert participant observation, where the participants are not aware that they are being studied. Ethnography and participant observation are broader terms that can include both overt and covert observation.
